Why I Am Not in Favor of “Easter Prom”

Many people bring up conflict surrounding “Easter” dresses vs. the original dress for prom. Some could argue that Easter dresses are okay for prom, as students should be able to wear whatever they are most comfortable with. Others would argue that prom is the one night a year where girls can get in full glam and there is no such thing as “over-doing-it.” This being said, Easter dresses would defeat that purpose since they give more of a laid-back look. 

After talking with some students around the school, some thought the same about the controversy. After asking if the Easter dresses took away from the look of prom, this is what Noelle McDonald had to say. 

“Yes I think they take away from prom because it is supposed to be fun, big, sparkly, and you only get the chance to wear big, fun, sparkly dresses twice in high school,” said McDonald. 

Many students take the opportunity of prom to get dressed up as much as they can, doing full makeup, hair, jewelry, heels, and dresses. With the full participation of other students at school, everyone should be looking their best at prom and feeling their best. Some may say that Easter dresses ruin the vibe of prom. 

Leading from there, McDonald said, “I think they ruin the look of prom because they are too busy.” 

This is a common opinion from other students around school as well. Girls get excited when they can dress up, so when others don’t want to take that to the fullest, it ruins the look for everyone else. After talking with another high school student, London Warmuth, this is what she feels about “Easter prom.

“I think you should wear a sparkly dress because it’s your only opportunity to wear a fancy sparkly dress. A spring dress ruins the main theme,” said Warmuth. 

Warmuth’s, and Mcdonald’s thoughts both tie together by not wanting to ruin the theme and look of prom. Other students will argue that they should be able to wear whatever they want and are most comfortable in. This topic could go either way as this new trend is taking an uprise, but only time will tell if this could be the new “prom.”
